Mohammed opened the meeting in an appropriate manner & introduced the items on the agenda clearly.He successfully managed the meeting from item number one  to the next until the last point. The cause was   under discussion about how to reduce traffic accidents.

The first item to be discussed was about the seat belt, why it’s important and what solution to make all the people  fasten a seat belt at all times. This is the longest part we talked about.

The second topic was about the mobile phone. Everyone gave  his opinion about this cause including Hedley. All of as agree this problem is increasing  here in the UAE and we find many types of solution to reduce this problem.

In my opinion  everything was  done well .We discovered many problems which  can cause accidents and found  different types of solution to reduce traffic accidents.

 Recommendations:

1-Seat belts save lives and we should raise awareness for the people who don't fasten the belt.


2-Talking on mobile phones while driving is the most dangerous thing; we should advise the drivers to use a headphone or speaker system.

 3-Speed limit in the city should be different than the highway and we should put limit sign boards everywhere in the street.

4-The car maintenance   is most important to prevent the accidents.
